Keshi Returns As Nigerian Coach by jamesrodriguez(m): 9:28am On Oct 31, 2014 |
It seems that Nigeria have not heard the last of coach Stephen Keshi as he is set to return to his role in charge of the Super Eagles for next month’s pair of qualifiers against Congo and South Africa. On Thursday morning, the media officer of the Super Eagles Toyin Ibitoye tweeted that Keshi is set to return to his job. Keshi Returns as @ NGSuperEagles Coach. — Toyin Ibitoye (@ ToyinIbitoye) October 30, 2014 findings revealed that Keshi has been asked to return to his post as part of reconciliatory moves in the Nigeria Football Federation as ordered by President Goodluck Jonathan. The President has also asked the faction of Chris Giwa to withdraw its case from court to ensure that Nigeria is not banned by Fifa. The NFF is yet to release any official statement. Keshi was relieved of his job on October 16, a day after the Super Eagles defeated Sudan 3-1 in Abuja, by the Amaju Pinnick-led board of the NFF who re-called former coach Shaibu Amodu in an interim capacity. The African champions had struggled to win just one in four qualifying matches and fans had begun to call for the coach’s sack. However, the Giwa-led faction had always maintained Keshi was still in charge despite the Big Boss having spoken about intentions to lead the Ghanaian national side, a fact that the GFA has now ruled out. The 52-year-old will now be in charge for the must-win pair of qualifiers next month. Nigeria are yet to announce their squad. The Super Eagles have four points and are behind South Africa (eight points), Congo (seven points) but ahead of Sudan (three points) in Group A 1 Share
